Synopsis
Weak parody of the X-Men. I don't really understand what this movie is about. The movie begins with a short non-sex sequence that establishes that Kira is a patient in "Skankcino Asylum for the Criminally Insane". Then the movie cuts to "Pussy's in Heat", four hot Asian chicks made up to look like cats. After they have sex with a guy, he turns into a stuffed animal or loses his penis. The males in this movie run around in Batman style, caped costumes in bright, primary colors that would not be out of place on "Teletubbies". They are gay and possess "amazing talents" like farting and narcissism. ::: rolling eyes :::
What's Hot
Tons of Kira footage on this disc for Kira fans. She appears in three boy/girl scenes in this movie and Vivid includes three more bonus scenes with her. She looks hot in her black body net costume.
Mika Tan looked really hot in her cat make-up and costume. She also played her character well and was enthusiastic during her sex romp.
Fujiko delivers a hot blowjob in her scene with some great spit play.
Very good videography at times by Robbie D. although not oriented toward raincoaters. However see comments below.
Nice extras on the DVD version. As noted above five bonus scenes, plus a generous, but rather stoic behind the scenes featurette. Plus, a couple of photo galleries to boot.
What's Not
Without a doubt, one of the worst scripts and ill conceived "plots" I've seen recently. This is a real shame, because the campy comic book style could be good, but guys, it takes some effort. Fart jokes stopped being funny in 8th grade and prissy guys looking into mirrors during the sex scene isn't much better.
Weak cum shot in Kira's opening scene. She jerks the guy off and tilts his cock back so the cum lands on his own body. Another very weak cum shot happens again in Kira's second scene. What a waste! Every Kira fan I know wants to see the sticky white stuff on her lips - not on the dude's belly!
Although Kira is featured three times, and she's always fun to watch, her scenes here suffered from being too much alike. In each of them Kira was paired with one guy, indoors, and she wore the same costume and cat make-up. It would have been better to have more variety. Why not toss in a three way, include an anal scene, and give her a different look?
Robbie D.'s videography was inconsistent. At times I felt it was really good, but at some points, he seemed to be asleep at the wheel, giving viewers boring and/or static shots. Also, most of the sex action was filmed in a rather mild style that was not overly explicit. It just didn't look very nasty. Seems like the multiple angles could have been put to good use here. One angle could present the action mild and the other could be gonzo style wild.
I was forced to watch (or more accurately fast forward through) commercials on this disc before the main menu appeared. I hope Vivid abandons this practice soon.
Play By Play
Below is a detailed description of each scene:
Scene One - Kira Kener & one
guy (Cheyne
Collins)
At the beginning of the scene, which takes place in a bedroom, male stud Cheyne is tied to the bed. His hands are in leather cuffs. Kira is wearing cat eye make-up with glitter and a hot black net outfit that ties in the middle. She also dons black tie up boots for this scene. 69 starts right away. Most of the time the camera focuses on Kira giving Cheyene a blowjob. The photography is very clear and has a film look to it. Cheyne eats Kira's pussy in mish for a fairly long time. Then the scene cuts to screwing on the side with one leg up. The middle piece of Kira's outfit disappears, but she's still in the fish nets. Her pussy is shaved with a neatly trimmed patch of hair up top. Next she gets boned on her back with her legs back. Nice camera shots from an overhead angle here. Kira tells Cheyne to "cum all over my tits". Then she's seen on her knees in front of him as Collins sits on the bed. Kira gives him a handjob, which is not very explicit at the start. Collins cums, but Kira (mistakenly?) angles the cock wrong and the goo drips on the dude. It was supposed to go on her tits! Ugh, this was a botched money shot. Given Kira's cock handling experience and aversion to facials, one might wonder if she didn't intentionally do this. However in the behind the scenes segment, it appears this the way it was planned. Why? -- your guess is as good as mine.
Scene One Ratings: 6.75
Scene Two - Mika Tan and one guy
(Dale DeBone)
Scene two takes place in a mock bar setting. All the guys are sitting together at table in the bar and dressed in campy, caped crusader outfits. Think a gay(er) version of Batman's sidekick Robin and you are on the right track. After an incredibly bad and juvenile dialog sequence, Dale DeBone spies Mika Tan at the bar. Mika is also made up to look like a cat and is sucking a lollipop. She looks very cute here. DeBone approaches Mika and we get a better look at her costume. It's a black see-through outfit that ties in the middle with the ass cut out. Her hair is in a fun pony tail style and her tits look absolutely fabulous. Mika offers DeBone a taste of her candy and Debone says it "tastes like cherry", hinting at anal, Mika corrects him that it is "fudge" flavored.
Now the scene cuts to the restroom of the bar. The couple begins to make out, but the session is constantly interrupted by the script, which calls for DeBone to make bad attempts at humor. Basically, the joke is, he can't stop looking at himself in the mirror. Huh? Despite the bad premise, Mika is great here and again proves to be a good actress. The guy gets naked and Mika sits up on the counter and purrs. Then she spreads open her pussy. DeBone licks her slit and clit. Very good quality video and sound here. This is a fairly long sequence. Next Mika spreads her tight hole and the guy fingers her briefly. Next Mika proceeds to give him a blowjob. She's one her knees and Dale is standing. Nice tongue action and overall enthusiastic sucking. Mika gets his cock nice and wet and makes good contact with the guy. She slaps the cock on her face a few times too. This oral sequence is fairly long, but not boring to watch. Now the action cuts to missionary sex on the counter. Mika remains in costume. She has a nice looking pussy here with some trimmed hair. Mika gets into her character and makes cat sounds in between moaning. Then she is boinked in the standing position from behind. Mika is bent over the counter. Viewers can see her tits clearly for the first time in the mirror. Mika reaches back and spreads her ass cheeks giving a nice view of her butthole. Now the scene cuts to the cum shot. Mika is squatting in front of the guy. DeBone jerks it and delivers a open mouth facial. A good amount of cum lands on her chest, face and tongue. This is a much better cum shot than scene one. (18 minutes)

Scene Three - Kira Kener and one
guy (T.J. Cummings)
There's no dialog or story setting up this scene. Kira is dressed in black fish net. Cummings is eating her from behind. Kira is positioned on a massage type table on her hands and knees. She looks hot like this from the front and the rear! She's also still wearing cat make-up. The guy fingers her pussy with two digits and then licks her ass at the same time. Then she returns the favor and sucks his cock. The guy is lying down on the table and Kira is on her knees. The contract starlet sucks him well but at times her hair obscures the action. This is a fairly only blowjob sequence. Next the scene cuts to missionary fucking. Kira is nude now except for boots. Cummings fucks her hard and fast. Multiple angles are enabled here featuring a medium distance shot and close-up. Kira moans a lot, but says very little. The just grunts a lot. After some time, Kira lifts her legs up and back. Now the scene cuts to reverse cowgirl screwing. Cumming is seated in a chair and Kira straddles him. She bounces well here and there's a nice jiggle effect on her jugs. Multiple angles pop up again, but neither are very inspired. The medium shot frames Kira off center to the left and more of the screen is filled with a table in the background than the starlet. The close up angle doesn't allow the viewer to see her pussy very well. At this point the scene cuts to the guy whacking off. Kira tells him to "beat that cock" but doesn't help him. The guy cums and squirts his jizz up in the air. It mostly lands on himself. This is another weak cumshot!

Scene Four - Fujiko Kano and one
guy (Steven St. Croix)
Two of the gay caped crusaders come into a waiting room with sofas. They announce they are there for their facial appointments. Fujiko assists them and leads one to the back room with the massage table. The other one, Steven St. Croix remains in the waiting room with her. Fujiko and St. Croix kiss briefly, then he begins to munch on her pussy. Fujiko is sitting on a couch. Her pussy is totally shaved and looks very nice. She talks a bit during the scene and seems to enjoy playing her kitty role. She looks very sexy. She's wearing a mesh outfit that is cut out around her entire crotch area. Fujiko seems to get off by the guy going down on her in this long oral sex sequence. She tastes her juices on his finger. Next the scene cuts to Fujiko giving the guy a blowjob on her knees. St. Croix is now sitting on the sofa. Good cock sucking footage here with some nasty spit action. Fujiko licks his balls and says her favorite comments about a "pink dick" and that his "balls smell good." From the to time the action cuts very briefly to Mika and Mina engaged in light girl/girl action on the other sofa. These cuts were unnecessary and distracting. Now the scene cuts to a cowgirl insertion shot. Fujiko requests for Steven to spank her ass hard a few times as she bounces.. Fujiko is very vocal here. Next, mish fucking. Fujiko's bustier is gone and now she is only wearing a body net. Multiple angles are live here. For the cum shot, the guy jerks off on Fujiko's body. He squirts his love juice on her torso.
Scene Four Rating: 7.87

Scene Five - Kira Kener
and one guy (Eric Masterson)
The fifth and final scene features Kira yet again. This time she's paired with Eric Masterson. Masterson begins by eating her on the massage table. Then, Kira sucks his cock. Nice blowjob footage here. Masterson is sitting down with Kira's head bobbing up and down as he grabs her hair into a pony tail. Kira looks pretty. She briefly slows down the pace of the blowjob and displays some tongue action -- then resumes fast bobbing. The scene cuts to cowgirl fucking. Here the camera work seemed disinterested. At times it appeared too static and close. When Robbie D. does pull back, viewers can see Kira's ample butt globes. This is a fairly long sequence and some of the medium distance shots seemed suspect. The scene cuts to doggy, but the action is not very explicit. Although penetration is shown, it is mostly from the side and very little of Kira's pink can be seen. The guy pulls out and blows spunk on her ass.
Scene Five Rating: 7.13

Everything Else
Mixed feelings about the cat make-up. It is sort of cute and gives the girls a good reason to purr like a kitten, but on the other hand, it covers up their faces. I thought Kira's eye make up covered too much of her face.
Vivid packed this disc with lots of great DVD extras. These include a Behind the Scenes featurette that runs for about twenty minutes and five full bonus scenes. The BTS segment is rather serious, and mostly shows how various parts of the movie were filmed. Interestingly, the BTS has a more shot on video look, and sometimes the camera angles were more interesting than those in the final edit. Mika Tan looked bored out of her mind waiting for her scenes.
The five bonus scenes included are: Kira Kener with Tyce Bune lifted from "The Arrangement" (D. Paul Thomas), Kira Kener with Mark Davis lifted from "Moxie" (D. David Stanley), Kira Kener with Bobbie Vitale lifted from "The Scent" (D. Ralph Parfait), Cherie with Steven St. Croix lifted from "Hard Tails (D. Rob Dee) and Chloe with Tony Tedeschi lifted from "White Room" (D. David Stanley).
Condoms were used in all scenes in this film.
Last Word & Final Tally
Vivid had a great title, terrific female talent and a capable shooter in Robbie D. but as a feature the project tanks due to a totally lame script. It's unfunny and juvenile. Sex wise, vanillaitis is a serious problem, but fans of Kira and Asian girls in general will probably still find parts of C-Men worthwhile. There's some good BJ footage and I enjoyed the somewhat kinky black costumes and kitty play.

Second Opinion?
Houston Don called it a "fun little spoof" although he noted the plot was "more lacking than usual." He suggests this as a rental for those who like "Asian women and corny lines." Rating (movie) 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.
